Shutdown/Reboot:

Can you help me?

I would suggest to disable ramlog service with:

service ramlog disable

it's disabled after reboot. If you upgraded to Jessie, Ramlog can't work - not compatible with systemd. 

 

If you are still on Wheezy than try to tweak the boot sequence. Ramlog should be started as early as possible.

Thanks a lot...

 

I'm still on Wheezy. What can I do to twaek the boot sequence?

Uh   No ideas for a simple strait answer. It's not simple but also not so complex.

Try google for more info if this is not enough.

 

It's strange because I use similar desktop configuration and it's working without a problem. Also it's pity that Ramlog is not supported anymore: http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/ Try to ping author 

Hi Igor,

 

With these two lines in LSB-Tags of ramlog I don't get any Errors:

 

# X-Stop-After: $syslog
# X-Interactive: true
